(AURN News) — President Donald Trump drew attention this week with a speech to senior military officers at Quantico, telling the audience, “There are two N-words, and you can’t use either of them.”

Trump was referring both to the racial slur and to “N-word” as shorthand for nuclear. The comment echoed a line he first posted earlier this year on his Truth Social platform.

“Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the ‘N word’ (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The ‘N word’ should not be treated so casually.” Trump wrote in June, repeating the comparison that has now surfaced again in his speech.
